rewatch

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• The first option ("When rocks roll down a mountain") describes mass wasting (like rockfall) but not deposition.
• The second option ("When rocks, sand, and other sediments stop after being moved in erosion") matches the definition of deposition, where eroded materials settle out.
• The third option ("Landforms that humans create") refers to anthropogenic landforms, not deposition.

Answer:

The correct option is: When rocks, sand, and other sediments stop after being moved in erosion.
